Hi,

well, I've checked better this phenomena, and I found out that there's a repeating issue. This is a standard NOTICE message:

To save privacy, I put KNOWN_USER@CORRECT_DOMAIN as a valid email address, and UNKNOWN_USER@CORRECT_DOMAIN as a non-existent email address, even if the domain is correct and is equal in both addresses.

I hope that this can help finding a good solution, I'm really getting annoyed about them :(

P.S.: I use MySQL for mail delivery instructions.

Thx a lot in advance, Tony.

I receive a lot of "NOTICE: mail delivery status" for unknown users (cause of spammers).

Can you post one such message? Is the domain in the notices a "local" or a "hosteddomain"?

Courier, in it's default configuration, isn't subject to the type of problem that you describe. You may have improperly defined a domain alias, or you've created a ".courier-default" file in etc/courier/aliasdir, or perhaps you have a backup MX that doesn't verify users. The solution would be to remove whatever you've done that made courier accept messages for user that don't exist.
